Species Customization: Moehog


by aleu1986

--------

In celebration of Moehog Day, I`ve put together a guide to how you may use their species clothing to create cool and creative customizations. Species clothing sets are tailor-made to a specific Neopet, meaning they can only be worn by that species. This makes for some unique and interesting looks, and hopefully my examples will inspire you to try some new looks for your Moehog. (Paint brush clothing has not been included).

Flapper

Moehog Flapper Headband, Necklace, Gloves, Dress and Shoes.

Tiffanys Moehog Tin Whistle

Light Faerie Eye Shadow

Drink of Celebration

Backstage Ballroom Background

Altadorian Grand Piano

Classic Wooden Radio Player

Ah, the roaring 20`s, a time of music, celebration and Neopets generally having a good time. Dress your Moehog up in this flapper outfit to take a step back in time and give her a stylish, vintage look.

White Moehog Boa instead of the necklace, or Tiffanys Moehog Gloves also work with this outfit. A pair of earrings suit this look nicely, but they can not be worn together with the Tin Whistle. I suggest Vintage Gold Earrings or REAL Chandelier Earrings.

Other ballroom backgrounds that suit the flapper look are Elegant Ballroom Background, Haunted Ballroom Background and Masquerade Ball Background. Add Birthday Ball Chandelier Garland for extra glamour. Instead of the Flapper gloves, you can use Black Lace Gloves or Black Lace-Up Gloves.

Try using Gold Vintage Frame to make your Moehog Flapper look like she`s on a painted portrait, or an old photograph.

When added, Gold Balloon Arch really makes it look like a time of parties and celebration, perfect for occasions such as New Years or a birthday.

Workout

Moehog Sweatband

Moehog Ankle Sweatbands (or Altador Cup Wristbands)

Yooyuball Wristwatch

Moehog Sweat Towel

Moehog Sneakers

Moehog Workout Bag

Peppy Moehog Headphones

Sporty Tennis Shirt

Gaming Shorts

Altador Cup Training Gym Background

Neofit Studio

Chia Clown Punching Bag

Put on your workout gear and hit the gym in style! Your Moehog will train and build their muscle and stamina, plus look great while doing it. Remember to drink enough water - Summer Fun Water Bottle layers perfectly with the Neofit Studio.

Other options for workout wear include Altador Cup V Uniform Shorts and Basic White Shirt.

For a more feminine look, simply add Warm Headband Ponytail Wig, and Sleeveless Geometric Shirt for an extra touch of pink. The Summer Beach Bag will hold all your gym essentials.

Add Swaying Punching Bag and Hand Wrap for a more realistic and detailed workout look.

If your Moehog prefers exercising outside in the fresh air, the Breezy Autumn Path Background or Spring Path Background supplies them with a nice asphalt path, perfect for a light jog or a more intense run or interval training. Coupled with the Neofit Studio, the Day at the Tracks Background can also suit the workout style.

King of Cards

Moehog Card King Crown, Moustache, Outfit, Shoes and Sword.

Jack of All Decks Foreground and Background

Trading Card Game Frame

Card Garland

The Moehog Card King outfit is a good example of what I like to call a `closed` outfit, meaning it has a very specific aesthetic and is difficult to create variations on. It has a limited use. The Card King ensemble can be used in a carnival or masquerade setting, or as a costume for when your Moehog goes trick-or-treat on Halloween. You could use it for a Meridellian customization (the red and blue colours are perfect for that) and make your Moehog a knight, prince or king, but the card symbols on the collar of the tunic make it clash a bit with a historical look, in my opinion.

I added the Trading Card Game Frame here to block out most of the blue sky and sand dunes seen in the background for a more clean look.

For a Card Queen style, you can use Queen of Hearts Dress or Little Hearts Dress. You could keep the crown and sword from the Moehog set, or use Queen Buzzer Crown Wig. Ancient Dacardite Necklace adds extra opulence.

Glamorous in Black and White

Glamorous Moehog Hat and Gloves

Tiffanys Moehog Dress and Shoes

White Moehog Boa

Tiffanys Moehog Tin Whistle

Manor Room Crime Scene Background

Manor Room Crime Scene Foreground

With the combined items from a couple of different outfits, I went for a simple, yet classic and stylish look in black and white... or, silver.

Your elegant Moehog can lunch with the ladies, or attend a fancy dinner party. My thought was of the femme fatale in crime novels which stroll into the private detective's office. (It was only when I had finished the customization I realized that the chalk outline on the floor is that of a Moehog). If you want to continue that line of thought, the Mysterious Dinner Party Background is a perfect choice.

Doll

Moehog Doll Hat and Dress

Adorable Black Moehog Shoes

Screamer Eye Shade

Ghostly Braids Wig

Rosy Cheeks Face Paint

Backstage Ballroom Background

Large Victorian Window

I chose to interpret Doll literally, so the idea here is that your Moehog is a little porcelain doll, and she`s looking out at you from her dollhouse window.

If you want to go with the dollhouse idea, here are some alternatives: Valentine Window Foreground, Fluffy Pink Bedroom Background, Fyoras Room Background and Neovian Sitting Room Background.

Chadleys Collectors Contacts is also a good choice to achieve the large, glassy eyes to suit the porcelain doll aesthetic.

I chose to use the Ghostly Braids Wig instead of the Moehog Doll Wig which goes with the set, as I prefer the former and thought it simply looked better. My favourite thing about the Doll set is that you can layer the hat and wig (something I really wish we could do with all headwear) meaning you can really vary the look of your Moehog in this outfit.

The glossy yellow dress makes me think of a raincoat – and on a fourlegged Neopet like the Moehog the dress does resemble a jacket more than a dress – so this outfit is perfect for a rainy day. Dress up your Moehog and let them go out and splash in the puddles!

Lastly, the flowers on the hat and dress make me think of Elderly Neopets, so in this outfit you can also make your Moehog look like a senior Neopian.

Archer

Moehog Archer Mask and Cloak, Shirt, Skirt, Bow and Quiver.

Scary Moehog Shoes

Moehog Workout Bag

Evil Tree Leaves Garland

Wooden Tree Sword

Shiny Bag of Gold Coins

Gift Bag of Neopoints

Enchanted Woods Background

This outfit allows you to be a bit creative and really create a story or character for your Moehog. In this example, they`re a thief with a noble heart who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They`re being chased after having visited King Hagan`s treasure chambers! I added the Moehog Workout Bag here so that the thief can make it out with even more loot.

The Moehog is wearing a skirt, but when wearing the complete set, the cloak covers it up and it`s not really noticeable as such. For a more pronounced female look, use Woodland Archer Wig - this item is not compatible with the Moehog Archer Mask and Cloak, however, and would make it more difficult for your Neopet to conceal their identity.

To vary the look, here are some suggestions: Peaceful Branches, Stolen Money Bags, Missed Cupid Arrows, Flag and Arrow Garland.

Use Travelling Wagon Foreground together with a Meridell-themed background to create a story about a captured thief being brought to the dungeon.

Pumpkin Carriage together with Green Woodland Path Background makes your Moehog Archer look like a highway robber, it`s up to you if you want your Neopet`s character to be good or evil.

Chef

Moehog Chef Hat, Jacket, Neckerchief, Pants, Shoes.

Frying Pan

Neopian Serving Cart

Spilled Spaghetti

Fancy Kitchen Background

"Where`s the Babaa sauce?"

With this clothing set, your Moehog becomes a top chef at a fancy restaurant, or perhaps a baker? He`ll be handling orders from demanding guests and ordering around stressed cooks, is your Moehog up for the task? If baking is more your pace, then you can use Charming Kitchen Background with Freshly Frosted Cake Counter Foreground.

You can also use Lunch at the Ambrosia Shop Background to have your Moehog Chef greet his guests and receive their compliments.

Also try: Neovian Serving Trolley, Underwater Chef Hat and Wig, Cosy Heart Bakery Background, Tasty Bakery Background.

Poet

Moehog Poet Hat, Shirt, Trousers.

Research Desk Foreground

Parchment Garland

Messy Magical Study Background

Locked away in his study, your Moehog Poet is trying to write the new epic sonnet, hopefully he doesn`t have writer's block! Use Covered in Sticky Notes to play on the humour and really underline how your poet is struggling to find the right words.

Your Moehog Poet may also be a thespian! Take to the stage and use Sparkling Red Stage Background to launch your Moehog`s acting career.

With Delightful Heart Lute, your Moehog may travel to the courts of Meridell and Brightvale to perform beautiful music for the Royal Neopets, the Poet outfit fits in perfectly in these lands.

Also try: Xandras Library Background, Overflowing Bookshelf Garland.

This concludes the article, my dear fellow Neopians, I do hope you enjoyed looking through it. Feel free to Neomail me with any comments or suggestions of what Neopet you`d like me to write about next. I have several other articles in this series, so check them out as well, if you like.

Don`t forget to give your Moehog an extra special treat today. Happy Moehog Day!
